Okay been about 3 days since my transplant, still no new growth but besides that this mourning i woke up and checked on plants and saw some this crystal looking shit like on my soil where i cut my holes at. then in one of the holes i cut on my big sonic cup i seen a fucking slug. The little motherfucka must have got in my soil when i transplanted. sometimes ill have like 10 slugs on the outside of my soil bag and a few times i had like 2 of them in the soil bag that i just throw out. So when i go to transplant i take soil out by hand and kind of shake soil in there so i no that there is no slugs in it, but i guess i missed him because he was in there.

Now i have a few questions, i dont like them ugly looking things period let alone in my room in my closet where my gear at. i didnt see any signs of the slug crawling around like on my walls or anything cuz they'd leave slime. Question #1 is will slugs harm my plant? im pretty sure he was the only one but you no he was down like by where the roots would be at. Question #2 what can i do to make sure that there isnt another one down in my soil where my plants are(ive ask this question before on like bug forum but noone answered.) would watering with 1/2 water, 1/2 isopropyl rubbing alcohol work to like kill them down in my soil if they there or will it cause harm to my plant.

i killed the one slug i pulled him out that hole and poured the rubbing alcohol on it haha was mean but tired of dealing with them ugly things.

Thanks for any help or advice.

you are going to need to transplant again friend.
if you are growing indoors then its quite impossible to find slugs as they dont live inside houses or bright light places.
very strange but dont go spraying your plants with shit.
there must be a reason why the slugs got indoors or into your pots ???????

yea lol i told why it was there. because on monday when i transplanted the plants into there own cups i had to go outside where my soil is and take soil out by hand and shake soil into my new cup to make sure i didnt see any slugs in there but i guess i missed one. so your still thinking i need transplant just because there was one slug? and im guessing thats the only one.

ight ill get at u later gonna go work out.

Who do i pm to move this thread over to newbie centrals or indoor grow cfl sub forum?

my plants are 21 days old now, and im just starting to see growth again in these last few days. I guess they suffered a bit from shock one of them not looking so good.

My plant in the red cup is not doing so good. The first set of leaves are starting to turn yellow along with the babie leaves idk why that is probually from the transplant?

well heres the pics i got alot HW to do.

Any comments? my plant in the red cup looks like that due to overwatering, i dont know how i did it but got to watch my watering with it atleast thats what 2 people in plant problems forum told me when they looked at pic. what you guys think?

Gonna go smoke up

Can a mod move this thread over to newbie central or the cfl sub forum in indoor growing? thanks...

I actually think now that my plant in red cup is not OVER WATERED. A few hours ago i was in my room and looked at my plants and noticed im seeing some roots when i look in the holes i cut at bottom for water to drain. i also see a lil root comings towards the hole for the mid bottom of cup so thats telling me that them roots have no where to go and i think the real problem is i need put it in bigger cup, because i believe my plant is root bound and not over watered. so im going to transplant this plant in red cup to a sonic cup like my other plant sometime before the end of weekend probaly friday. i think thats a big enough cup for them 2 plants to finish growing in i dont expect them to be but like 2-3 feet since im 12/12 from seed.

3rd pic is the one i think is root bound.

ha well was in my room like 20 min ago getting ready to leave for my 4 hour english class in 2 hours and i went to turn my fan back on for 2 more hours before i leave for class. so i took my plants out too look at them and on my good looking plant i just happen to see like a lil white thread looking thing shooting out of my top nodes. so i said to myself hell naw it can be pistols? and sure enough it is pistols there are alot of them shooting out the top nodes but non on my bottom nodes. funny because my plant is only 4inch long atm but i do beleave it will shoot up to hopefully a foot or 2 id like it to be between 2-3ft max. idk what you guys think? if anyone would post haha
ill update with pic's hopefully tommarrow. but im 99.9% sure these are pistols matter fact im prob 100% and i should see the shooting out more tommarrow? because ididnt see none yesterday.

as far as lights i still only got the 1x42w 2700k and the 2x23w 6500k going atm. i was planing on geting my 3x23w 2700k on like monday and switching them in then but now im kinda having to make moves faster. I also got to go to hardware store get one of them light bulb socket adapter that have the plug in thing to plug into a extention cord i plan on hanging down on the back side of plant.

so this is how my lights should be. i will have the big 42w on top and replace one or both of those daylights for the softwhites and then have 2 hanging on the back side of plant so 4 or 5 bulbs going a total of 134w its the best i can do. no job barely any money out here gritin for scrilla so yea and no jobs out here in innercity so fuck the economy.

im real happy atm though didnt expect to see pistols cuz i wasnt planing on puting all flowering bulbs in and giving it nutes till next week.

ill check back later after school. thanks for any comments or advice peace. btw my plant have 5 node and 6th are getting bigger.
shit one more thing. my very first set of true leaves or w/e the ones that come after them babie leaves. they are starting to turn yellow is that natural?

ok well my close up pic's didnt come out good like i wanted them to i believe today is day 26.. my plant is like 4 in tall, i really wanted to get the new bulbs and socket yesterday so i can have more light in there for it to take off with. when i just checked on plants and took pic like 10 min ago noticed that my top leaves kind of drooped down i watered like 3 days ago and it just started to droop idk soil pretty dry when i put my finger down im going to let it dry out for another day or 2, then next watering feed it some nutes and hopes that helps it grow more.

one ace again sorry for the pic's had to take em quick and shit cant really see the pistols next pics ill try take pic under them top leaves.

Congrats on the female! I'll be watching.

Thanks getting more light tommarrow. this wont get to like 2ft like i hoped didnt prepare good enough i guess hard when u struggle for the money haha its all coming together though ill have a small little budded plant. i gave it real light nutes on monday wont give it more till after the next watering. im hoping with these new lights and some blooming nutes it'll take off. germing some new seeds. im trying to plan on making a little grow box for my closet to start my new plant in on a 18/6 for 2-3 weeks then put it under my 12/12 with this plant. i dont know though gotta keep in mind my mom bill shes laid off so idk if i can do that atm.

If your plants already have PISTILS at that size and with the kind of light you are using, I'm afraid you are in big trouble

bro I think those are your five hand leaves.. can't tell from seeing the dim pics.. pretty sure nothing to worry about but I recommend 18/6 schedules and LSTing even if those are pistils you can still vegetate and lst to optimize your stout grow
